Apple AirPower rumoured to get Spring 2019 release

Aside from hearing more about the AirPods, a new report claims that the now mythical AirPower charging mat is finally arriving sometime in the Spring. It'll supposedly launch alongside the AirPod 2's wireless charging case, which will reportedly carry less charge than the non-wireless one. The charging mat is expected to be a bit thicker than what's initially expected, and this is probably due to the coils used for charging. The AirPower will reportedly get additional features that will debut when iOS 13 comes.

AirPods 2 to retain the looks of the original

The AirPods second iteration is expected to arrive soon. New details have been leaked about the Bluetooth earbuds. The AirPods 2 are rumoured to be carrying the same design as the original AirPods. What's being improved is the bass response as well as the addition of more health-related tech (like heart rate sensor). Its battery life is expected to be roughly the same. It would supposedly also get a new coating for better grip and would cost US$200 instead of $150.

Marvel pays tribute to the '90s with retro site for 'Captain Marvel'

Before there were social media and other more functional sites to help you create a website, there were the likes of Geocities, where you would spend many hours crafting these intricate, kind of gaudy (by today's standards) personal sites. To capture that era of the internet as well as the time Captain Marvel lived in, Marvel created a rather appropriate website to promote the upcoming film.

With the movie set in the '90s, we get a website filled with bright backgrounds, rather liberal use of pixelated GIFs for both words and images, and even the TV spot shown in a faux Real Player (which is cleverly renamed as Kree Player). Scroll down and you even see a site counter and a fake Guest Book. All the information about the movie is there, but it's just presented in a way that would certainly bring you back to the era.

Get the perfect Instagram-worthy shot with this app

No Instagram boyfriend? No problem. This Korean photo app is here to help you get that perfect travel shot. Called SOVS (or SomeOne Very Special), the app will show your friends or the stranger you asked to take your photo how you’d want it to turn out. Just select from the menu of poses illustrated as white outlines and hand this over to the person taking the photograph. They would just need to superimpose the avatar over you. The outline size can be adjusted and moved around based on your liking. These can appear in the photo or just serve as a guide that disappears after the photo is taken. The shot can be a square or in a 3:4 ratio. There are two versions of this iOS app. SOVS costs 99 cents and is meant to be used for solo shots, while the SOVS2 is free and has different poses for group photos. You can unlock more of the poses via in-app purchases.
